There is really a need for such thread. Some photos have already appeared in Ugly Krakow thread. Grafitti is mostly created by football fans. One team and its fans are called Jews by their opponents, that is why some part of grafitti in the city is anti-semitic.

Soccer fan stickers from Cracovia club. Cracovia fans are called jews by the opposite Wisła club supporters who, on the other hand, are called dogs. Jews because the first owner of the club was Jewish around 1906, and dogs because the club was owned by communist police after WW2.

Hmm, not quite. There are real battles between fans, they arrange a place and time and fight hard. Every year there is one or two fatalities.

It is the result of tens of years of peace. In every society there is a group of males who need to feel high level of adrenaline by means of fighting. In war times such men would join an army and fight in the battlefield. As there are no wars in Europe now, they need to invent ones.

Wisła stickers. As they make their appearance in a primary school, they are quite decent.

I have recently read in a newspaper that these inscriptions are done by soccer fans. The author claimed that according to the local fans, the Krakowian soccer team "Wisla F.C." is 'Catholic' (whatever it means) and the other team - "Cracovia F.C." is... 'Jewish" (whatever it means). And that this inscriptions are in fact anti-Cracovia F.C. Would you confirm that?

Krakow Puts Prisoners to Work at Area SchoolsAgnes Sekowski | 14th October 2010

Campaign to make local schools graffiti-free gets help from convicts

An initiative started in part by Gazeta Krakowska has already seen its first successes in painting over vulgar graffiti on the walls of local area schools. Under the supervision of police and municipal guards, detainees from the detention center on ul. Montelupich went to work yesterday. Their first target was Primary School No. 162 in Kurdwanów, where vulgar graffiti painted by football hooligans had been irritating the schoolmaster and parents alike.

Municipal Guard Marcin Jurczenko told Gazeta Krakowska that they received 1500 złoty for paint from the magistrate at the Department of Education, supplies from the Krakow Board of Municipal Infrastructure and Transport (ZIKiT), and a delegation of prisoners from the detention center. He adds that in the next few days, they will be deciding which school will be next in line for a touch up.

I think murals are kind of art because they are really beautiful and one must have talent to make them. But there are some incidents when these are real acts of vandalism. Some people do damage when they paint or write something on a private property.
